COMPARE YOUR OPTIONS TO RUN A SWIM MEET BELOW...

Let’s get to the bottom of the challenges of summer swim meets! We want you to run the best swim meets possible – and have the most fun! To get started, we framed the discussion around the root of the issues: running the swim meet. If you haven’t read about our product, go back andread that page first here.

If your swim team or swim league is willing to make changes to make each swimmer and family’s experience as fun as possible, let’s look at the options below! Remember, the only way to create fun new possibilities is to change the fundamental way your swim meets are recorded race-by-race. Shorter swim meets, cut the number of volunteers needed, less stress, more FUN! Let’s take a look…

**The initial startup cost for running a stopwatch/paper swim meet includes ink/paper costs, manual stopwatches, Hy-Tek Team & Meet Manager. The real cost of running a stopwatch/paper swim meet is in convincing a parent to volunteer for every link in the chain of events. This is why we don’t believe in making it easier to manage volunteers, but instead eliminate the number of volunteers required in the first place : )
